Where classic serif faces are urbane and well-mannered, Turnip is coarse and down-to-earth – the kind of type that feels completely at home with salty language. David Jonathan Ross crafted an energetic tension between Turnip’s inner and outer shapes to give it vigor, while strong strokes and sturdy serifs yield dense paragraphs with a horizontal emphasis. This ain’t your grandpa’s book face, but it reads just as well.

David Jonathan Ross draws letters of all shapes and sizes for custom and retail typeface designs from his studio in the woods of Western Massachusetts. A native of Los Angeles, He began drawing typefaces at Hampshire College and joined The Font Bureau in 2007 where he honed his bézier-wrangling skills. Now he publishes his typeface designs at his own foundry, DJR, as well as working on projects with Type Network and developing unusual display faces for his Font of the Month Club.
